This package is a unified (remark) plugin to add a usage section to markdown.
You can use this on readmes of npm packages to keep the docs in sync with the project through an actual code sample.
This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 16+), install with npm:
npm install remark-usageThis section is rendered by this module from
example.js. Turtles all the way down. 🐢🐢🐢
Say we are making a module that exports just enough Pi (3.14159).
We’re documenting it with a readme file, example/readme.md:
# PI
More than enough 🍰
## Usage
## License
MIT…and an example script to document it example/example.js:
// Load dependencies:
import {pi} from './index.js'
// Logging `pi` yields:
console.log('txt', pi)…if we use remark-usage, we can generate the Usage section
import {remark} from 'remark'
import remarkUsage from 'remark-usage'
import {read} from 'to-vfile'
const file = await read({path: 'readme.md', cwd: 'example'})
await remark().use(remarkUsage).process(file)…then printing file (the newly generated readme) yields:
# PI
More than enough 🍰
## Usage
Load dependencies:
```javascript
import {pi} from 'pi'
```
Logging `pi` yields:
```txt
3.14159
```
## License
MITThis package exports no identifiers.
The default export is remarkUsage.
Add a usage example to a readme.
Looks for the first heading matching options.heading (case insensitive),
removes everything between it and an equal or higher next heading, and replaces
that with an example.
The example runs in Node.js (so no side effects!).
Line comments (//) are turned into markdown.
Calls to console.log() are exposed as code blocks, containing the logged
values, so console.log(1 + 1) becomes 2.
Use a string as the first argument to log to use as the language for the code.
You can ignore lines with remark-usage-ignore-next:
// remark-usage-ignore-next
const two = sum(1, 1)
// remark-usage-ignore-next 3
function sum(a, b) {
return a + b
}…if no skip is given, 1 line is skipped.

This package is fully typed with TypeScript.
It exports the additional type Options.
Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with maintained versions of Node.js.
When we cut a new major release, we drop support for unmaintained versions of
Node.
This means we try to keep the current release line, remark-usage@^11,
compatible with Node.js 16.
This plugin works with remark version 12+ and remark-cli version 8+.
Use of remark-usage is unsafe because main and example are executed.
This could become dangerous if an attacker was able to inject code into those
files or their dependencies.
